SUMMARY:German Networking Meeting 2024
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/208454
DESCRIPTION:For whom 
 All practitioners in German: in schools, FE or HE; students of Modern Languages, students in teacher training, linguists from other languages interested in the topic \n
The topic 
 will be ‘Authentic Assessment’, by which we mean ‘inclusive assessment’, assessment that reflects students’ interests, tasks that address students as whole persons (e.g. humour, satire, film, song, images and not only writing) and AI-proof assessment. As such, it should not just appeal to Germanists, and you are all cordially invited to participate. \n
Registration 
 Registration is now closed for this event.\n
Keynote
 Dr Miriam Neigert on ‘Humanizing Assessment’ \n
 Miriam has been a lecturer at University of New England, Australia, since 2018 and is the Discipline Convenor of German Studies. In 2023, she received a Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning, Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) 2023, in recognition of the portfolio work she designed and introduced into all the German units at UNE.  \n
 This event will also be a platform to showcase some of our other outreach efforts and partnerships here at the University Â鶹¾«Ñ¡Â Â \n
 If you have recently published in the area of Teaching German, please let the organisers know / have a copy so that we can display this work appropriately.  \n
 Looking forward to seeing you in Birmingham  \n
